About to finish reading a book

I'm about to finish reading an English book called "There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom" by Louise Sachar.
At first, I didn't think it's very fun, but the more reading, the more fun.
I could read the book without dictionary, sometimes unknown words are appeared though.
I think it's good to read English books without dictionary because you can concentrate their stories and can increase vocabulary and sentences from the context.
I'm looking forward to finish reading the book, and then next book, "Bitter Is the New Black" by Jen Lancaster.

I've read that book actually! I can't remember when...I think it was when I was in middle school. That's great though! I could never read books in Japanese...I'm so terrible at it. >.< But anyway, good job!!!! Keep it up!

I wish I could, but I don't know where to buy them. All of the manga sold in stores in America are translated into English. Unless I went to a Japanese store, I guess...but I don't know any.

How about online bookstore?
I found some Japanese books at Amazon.

Thank you! I should have thought of that. The only problem is I don't know much kanji (I know about 60 kanji) so it will be difficult. But, I will still buy some for later when my Japanese improves. ^_^
